My sister
went to school with Rosie Balls
My dad had a school mate called Andy Dick, and a workmate who called one of his sons Dwayne Payne.

I knew a Bob Cocks.

A kid at school was called Armstrong. Not funny in itself, except he was photographed "relieving himself in a gentleman's way" in the school toilets (a photo which quickly worked its way round the whole school), and in a physics lesson the teacher said "Ah, Armstrong - good name for a wanker, that."

A while ago there was a link, possibly on B3ta to a forum for people wanting to invent "distinctive" names for their children. From this I gained the knowledge that there are two poor fuckers going round with the names "Impala Sedan", and "Pstephen"

I shouldn't really laugh at this one, but there's a Danish girl where I work called Bente Klitgaard.

No joke!

Loads
There was a Michael Hunt at my school (sorry mate if you're reading this) and one of my colleages has a cousin called Richard Head.

I'm sure there are plenty more but Gerry Fiddler, Sarah Buttery, and Harriet Kitcat spring to mind immediately.

I was also once told of a girl who had died when the horse she was riding toppled over and crushed her to death. Her name was Michelle Squish although I'm not so sure that this is a true story. I'd like to think it is though.

More when I remember them.

Jessica
I knew a girl at Uni called Jessica Bastard. Very unfortunate name, but she did use to her advantage.

She went for President of the Student Union and used the slogan...Jessica Bastard, The Only Bastard to Vote For.

Uni days
While I was at uni, I stayed on campus, where there were lots of people with names to pick from.

One guy called Mick Condon always got a lot of shit about his name.

Someone was looking for Nikki Cant, but the person just kept saying Nikki, until after numerous repeats of "who", he finally said the full name, and everyone else sat back and said "oh yes she can" with pleased expressions.

Frank Yu's name always got abbreviated to F Yu, particularly when going up on boards.

And finally I played in a pool comp against an asian dude with the name Ben Hur. It was a big match.

people with stupid names
I once found a Mr. Smells in the local telephone directory. I phoned him up (days before 1471) and said I was from the tourist board and we were having a drive to increase tourism in the area. Part of our work involved getting rid od all the local smells! tee hee

At school in Wellingborough
The 2 male PE teachers were called Mr Ardon and Mr Bates.

Obviously we didn't ever laugh about it because, as they quite rightly pointed out, their names were not funny!

I work in a call center
so as you can imagine I get people with weird names calling every day, however there is one that sticks in my mind.
We had one snotty cstomer call one day complaining that she hadnt received her order. After explaining to her that we are not the customer services line just an orderline she agreed for us to take a message, so asking her her name she replys Ms Cunttoupe.
Well we found it funny anyway.

obvious names
I once read a white paper from Microsoft on some shit or another (I can't remember and have been at the pub) I do remember the authors name. John Wank, heheh

We have recently been joined by a young lady of asian descent called 'Suk yei Muk' (say it quickly) which is what Geordie (for the yankees that is someone poor from the north east of England)women presumably offer their significant others when thay are 'at Heume ta Arsenal' (again for the seppos' that is menstruating)...

have a wonderful evening all...

Silly Names
Went to school with a boy called Paul Muttitt (pull ma tit..)

Had an english teacher - Mr Carr, first name Wayne.

A Geography teacher (Mr. Holmes) was going out with the games teacher (Miss. Watson) - Holmes & Watson.

A friend, however, in wanting to give her daughter an unusual name, plumped for Tiger.

Not too bad, except their surname is Lyons.....

(was also contemplating sending her to the same school she attended - the uniform is brown with cream stripes.....)

got the best one
While working at McDonalds (i am ashamed) i met a manager with literally the best name ever. Stephen Cockhead. I kid you not, there was a guy with the surname Cockhead working there. I grinned every time i saw him, and i think he knew why. As i worked on lobby, i understandably got odd looks from customers when i yelled "COOOOOOCKHEAD!" and he came out to see what was wrong. harhar.

*edit* i just remembered, he always tried to get the new people to pronounce it "co-head", but we soon set them straight.

Hippy with a sense of Humour
My dear mother used to work in Swindon Central Library. A lady who worked there had a Hippy friend called 'Penfold', who as he was a pikey traveller, had no last name. He came into the library to get a library card, but as he had no last name, couldn't get a library card. After much faffing he changed his name, by deed poll to Penfold Oliver Orange Pants. Yes. P.O.O Pants

Porn name
There's a bird at my company called Candyse Lovell, which is a porn name, surely. She's quite fit so chances are it was from her previous career and she forgot to change back to her real name.
